If you think about time with a scarcity mindset, you will always struggle to have enough of it. Instead, you should try to approach time management with an abundance mindset. In today’s episode, host May Yeo Silvers shares one of her most effective productivity hacks for getting more accomplished by being more intentional with your time.
Think about how much time it actually takes to do a task. Write down everything you want to do for yourself, others, around the house, for work and estimate the time each task will take to complete as accurately as you can. For tasks that you are unfamiliar with, put down a longer estimate at first and then time yourself to get a better understanding of how long it takes. Then, whenever you find yourself with gaps of time, even if they are only two or five minutes long, choose a task on your list that can fill in that gap.
By being more intentional about how you use your time, even small gaps throughout your day, you can really increase your productivity. Instead of just scrolling mindlessly on your phone when you have a gap in your day, choose to use that time more wisely. You will be surprised how much you can accomplish when you are mindful of your time.
